csk vs kkr 2024- Jadeja is now the only player in IPL history to achieve three milestones: scoring over 1000 runs, taking more than 100 wickets, and now completing 100 catches.
csk vs kkr 2024- Ravindra Jadeja hasn’t received a special nickname from Chennai Super Kings fans like Mahendra Singh Dhoni, who is affectionately called ‘Thala’ (leader), or Suresh Raina, known as ‘Chinna Thala’ (leader’s right-hand man). However, India’s top all-format all-rounder believes it’s about time fans give him recognition and validation by coming up with a nickname.
csk vs kkr 2024- Jadeja, who played a crucial role with his match-winning performance of 3 wickets for 18 runs in 4 overs against KKR, believes that it’s always tough for the opposing team to perform well on the Chepauk pitch. He has consistently been a challenging opponent on this pitch.
“After our seven-wicket win,” the cheerful Jadeja said, “I’m still waiting for a nickname, but hopefully, they’ll come up with one soon.”
csk vs kkr 2024- “I always like bowling on this pitch. I was hoping the ball would grip a bit, and if you bowl in the right spots, it works in your favor. For the visiting teams, it’s tough to get accustomed to and strategize,” he explained as KKR struggled to reach 137 for 9.
“Visiting teams only have 2-3 days to come here, play, and understand the pitch, which can be challenging. We’re more familiar with our conditions.”
csk vs kkr 2024- KKR captain Shreyas Iyer agreed that they didn’t understand the pitch well enough.
“We couldn’t figure out the conditions fast after the powerplay, scoring became tough. CSK knows the conditions well, and they bowled accordingly,” Iyer admitted.
On a pitch like the one we had, a new batter found it very hard to start scoring aggressively right away.
“It was tough for the new batters to start attacking right away. We were aiming to build our innings, but things didn’t go as planned. The pitch conditions shifted after the powerplay.“
“We felt confident, thinking 160-170 would be a decent score, but then we lost momentum.”
The Indian batter believes there’s no need to worry after just one loss.
We need to start over and learn from this experience. It’s good that it happened early in the tournament. Once we go back, we can use our knowledge of our home conditions. We should analyze what happened and make the most of it.
